Analysis: Bitcoin futures demand cools, short-term trend may face further pressure

6 days ago

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost wrote in a post that signs of weakening demand are emerging in Bitcoin’s futures market. Data shows the 30-day average net aggressive buy volume has started to decline after a period of relatively strong growth, a trend similar to that seen in May 2026. On August 19, when Bitcoin broke through $65,000, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio rose to 1.21 at one point, but market optimism has faded as investors gradually increased their short positions. Currently, the 30-day average net aggressive buy volume has plummeted from $213.7 billion to $97.8 billion in just a few days, a drop of over 50%; meanwhile, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has remained negative since August 30. This metric, which compares the volume of aggressive buy and sell orders in the futures market, reflects investor sentiment and position changes in the futures market. The analysis notes that futures market trading volume is still significantly higher than that of spot and ETF markets, so its capital flows have a strong influence on overall market trends. In the short term, signs of deterioration are emerging in the Bitcoin market; weakening futures demand and rising short positions may further weigh on price performance.

Circle adds support for pre-payment of CCTP fees, covering all EVM-compatible chains.

Official announcements reveal that Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) now supports a fast transfer prepaid fee function. Previously, protocol fees were deducted directly from the USDC transfer amount on the destination chain; with this update, developers can pre-quote and collect fees using the source chain’s native gas token or USDC before a transfer executes, simplifying cross-chain transfer fee handling and ensuring users receive their expected USDC amount. The prepaid fee mechanism primarily enhances fee predictability in cross-chain applications. Users no longer face reduced received amounts due to extra deductions on the destination chain side. Additionally, the CCTP Quote API uniformly calculates fees across all supported chains, integrating Fast Transfer and Forwarding fees into a single quote—removing the need for developers to build separate systems to compute multiple protocol fees. Furthermore, fees can be paid directly with the source chain’s native token, with no reduction or impact on the actual transferred USDC balance. Currently, the prepaid fee feature supports USDC transfers on all EVM chains covered by CCTP, but does not yet support transfers initiated from Solana; transfers to Solana remain available. Developers can retrieve specific fee quotes via the Quote API and integrate this feature, with relevant developers advised to refer to CCTP’s official documentation to build more predictable cross-chain USDC transfer workflows.
